Kawhi might be known for his incredible two-way prowess. He was already an excellent defender but over the years has developed into an all-round offensive beast. Be it three pointers, mid-range shots and dunks.

Playing against the Mavericks, Kawhi has been the go-to offensive guy for the team. But he has come up clutch in defense as well as he has 4 steals. In one such sequence, Leonard stole the ball from the Mavs and was in transition with two other players.

Going on a three-on one fast break against the Mavs, Kawhi had Paul George and Marcus Morris to pass to. But ‘the Klaw’ took it upon himself and posterized Maxi Kleber. What made this worse that three Clippers’ players stared down Kleber as he fell to the floor, take a look.

Kawhi has had his fair share of slams but this might just top them all given how disrespectful this dunk was in the first place.
